Azizi Developments, a leading private developer in the UAE, said it is gearing up with a continued commitment towards the completion of its ongoing projects, with 46 projects scheduled to be completed in 2021. 

 

Moreover, plans are afoot to launch another 40+ new buildings worth around AED7 billion ($1.9 billion), mostly in its existing communities, said the Emirati developer in its statement.

 

Aziz will introduce further ways of reaching international investors with a focus on tapping into markets such Saudi Arabia, China, Nigeria and Israel, it added.

 

Despite the pandemic-induced challenges that the real estate industry faced, Azizi said it had celebrated a high-performance 2020 by casting over 300 storeys, pouring over 239,000 cu m of concrete, constructing over 3.68 million sq ft of built-up area, and recording more than 17.6 million work hours, underlining its construction-driven and customer centric way of operating. 

 

The developer now plans to deliver on its promises by handing over homes to more than 10,000 families in 2021.

 

CEO Farhad Azizi said: "This year threw at the world a challenge that we have yet to overcome. However, we count our blessings with the closing of 2020. For the UAE, as well as for us at Azizi, this has been a year of achievements and milestones, proving our resilience during the most challenging of times."

 

"Our construction was mostly unaffected by the pandemic as we continued catalysing the development of this marvellous emirate. We have handed over nearly 3,000 units this year alone — residences that will define the lifestyles of thousands of happy families. It gives me immense pleasure to say that as we enter 2021, we will continue to strive for the very best; our spirits remain high and our ambitions clear as ever," he added.

 

In the build-up to Expo 2020, Azizi Developments is developing a large concentration of projects with direct metro and highway access to the site, which will continue to be a vibrant hub of culture and leisure even after the event.

 

"With the UAE real estate sector embarking on a path of growth, with the economy and businesses worldwide beginning to witness a substantial resurgence, we anticipate an even stronger uptick in demand and sales that will become apparent as early as Q1 of 2021; this is when we believe pre-pandemic levels will be reached and then exceeded," noted Azizi. 

 

"The current global situation allowed the UAE to show its true merits — it grants the leadership and the country’s businesses and people the opportunity to demonstrate how safe, proactive, forward-looking and innovative this international hub is," he added.-TradeArabia News Service
